A simple recipe for White Bean Chili Verde with Jackfruit that can be made in an Instant Pot or on the stovetop. Vegan and gluten-free, this fast and easy dinner recipe can be made in 30 minutes!

Hey friends, here’s another weeknight dinner recipe that is fast, easy and vegan. Make this flavorful White bean Chili with Jackfruit in your Instant Pot or on your stovetop. Either way, it comes together in about 30 minutes. The leftovers can be reheated for midweek meals.

Here, for speed and convenience, I’m using canned white beans, and chilies.

If cooking this in an Instant Pot, follow the directions and pressure cook on high for 10 mins.

Drain the jackfruit and slice through the core. You are welcome to discard the dense core if you like, but I hate wasting it and find it breaks down enough if you cut it thinly.

Season generously with Homemade Chili Seasoning.

After the chili is done, add frozen corn and fresh kale to the pot for extra nutrients.

The jackfruit will take on a “shredded chicken” look and feel.

Top the vegan White bean Chili with avocado, cilantro, radishes, vegan cheese, or vegan sour cream (or yogurt).

Hope you enjoy this White Bean Chili with Jackfruit! Make it in your Instant Pot or on the stovetop. Vegan and gluten-free, this fast and easy dinner recipe can be made in 30 minutes!
